In addition, some car companies are on the verge of life and death. Haima supported the development of the automobile industry by selling houses, and Qoros was forced to sell itself. Landwind was once in a lawsuit because of arrears. Since the beginning of this year, Lifan Motor, which relies on selling land and shares, has been forced to compensate the other party for 783 million yuan due to sales disputes, making Lifan Motor almost on the brink of a cliff. In addition, Changfeng Cheetah Changsha Factory was managed by Geely Automobile due to operational difficulties.
Not only that, affected by the epidemic, the "knockout" of independent brands is also accelerating. Recently, it was reported that Zotye Automobile was forced to stop production in Hunan due to continuous losses and serious epidemic situation. Moreover, Zotye Automobile encourages employees to leave their jobs automatically, and the Hunan base has a holiday for one year. This is also the "scandal" that Zotye Automobile once again heard after employees collectively asked for salaries and chairman Jin Zheyong was restricted from high consumption.
Zotye automobile has been popular for a while because of the luxury cars in the cottage. In its heyday, the cumulative sales even reached 333,000 vehicles. Although the sales volume of Zotye began to decline in 20 17, the cumulative sales volume for the whole year still reached 317,000 vehicles. However, after the sales of 20 18 and 20 19, Zotye Automobile was not only seriously damaged, but also the whole production and sales chain was almost paralyzed. The financial loss is nearly10 billion, and the national six model has not yet been put on the market. Because of the dispute over the sales contract, Zotye seems to have been pressed the pause button.
According to some internal media reports of Zotye, Zotye Hunan Base issued the Notice on Postponement of Holiday for Company Employees on May 29th, saying that the holiday time of the base was postponed to June 30th, 20021year. Moreover, according to the staff of Zotye Hunan Base, at present, the company has not paid the basic salary of 20 19 to 10, and only reissued the symbolic living allowance. What does Zotye take to protect the welfare of employees who suffer serious losses and almost "cut off" cash?
According to the notice, Zotye Automobile encourages employees to leave voluntarily and gives certain incentive funds subsidies. The subsidy standard is: if the basic salary is higher than 3,000 yuan, a unified monthly subsidy of 3,000 yuan * length of service; The basic salary is less than 3000 yuan, according to the basic salary * calculate length subsidies.
In addition, after the holiday expires, all the on-the-job employees quit to Xiangtan Tongrui Company. Employees who can't go to work according to the company's requirements are treated as absenteeism, and those who are absent for three days are treated as automatic resignation, and the labor contract is automatically terminated.
Although Zotye Automobile once emphasized in the performance report of 20 19 that the company is trying to resume normal production and try its best to improve its operating conditions. However, the cruel reality has left Zotye with no choice but to stop some production bases and concentrate on integrating resources to "continue life". However, as a result, Zotye Auto once again fell into a storm of public opinion.
Write it at the end
As early as 20 17, a car company executive predicted that only five independent brands might survive in China in the next five years. And a sudden epidemic has pressed the acceleration button for the "knockout" between independent brands. With the further decline of the domestic automobile market, more independent brands will not survive. Zotye's performance may be just a microcosm of the cruelty of this independent brand "knockout".
